Common issues


Everyone uses Metis in different ways, and therefore the solutions to many observed problems can vary.

We've designed Metis to be easy to use, even when debugging! So we've put together a quick checklist of tests you can do, which you can use in the first instance upon encountering a problem. You may be able to resolve your issue yourself with minimal fuss, so you can get back to doing what you do best. These can be done in any order, but we've put them in a logical one when trying to debug yourself.
